Genaeral Information

Uncharted isles can contain any resources available in the Arc, with varying rarities.

  • Long Voyage: Large islands with 2-3 rare resources (20 supplies)
  • Median Expedition: Medium-sized islands with 1-2 rare resources (12 Supplies)
  • Short Junket: Small isles with 0-1 rare resources (5 supplies)
  • Claimed Island: Return to your claimed island (3 supplies)

Claiming Islands

As you will notice, no uncharted island is the same as another. Some will offer a great variety of resources you want while others you may find lacking. If you find a particularly good island, you can claim it. This is done by placing a Flag, purchased from Boni, on any uncharted isle you visit. If you claim an Uncharted isle, the various other items she sells can be added to it. Island resources will resupply at daily reset.

Note: you will need to complete Flag Fall before you can claim islands.



Visiting Friends' Islands

As of November 2018, it is possible to visit your friends' Claimed islands. These can be accessed via Quartermaster Gully ONLY at Port Sarim and choosing the "Island settings" option. You can also toggle your Island settings with this option and choose to allow everyone to visit your Island, friends only, or no one.

Note that you cannot visit a friend's island if they are not on (or have their setting to "no one") nor can you collect any resources, loot chests, or pick up items that have washed ashore while there. You can, however, catch any birds and/or implings on the island. If you log out while on a friend's island, you will find yourself in Waiko when you log back in.



Island Nodes

In addition to the normal Arc items, you can find various special resources on uncharted isles that are not available on the main islands. These include Wobbegong, Ornate Tortles, Alaea Crablets, Golden bamboo, Sea shells, and Driftwood, as well as various Arc monsters. As you are collecting many of these resources, you may notice a bar above the node you are collecting from. This indicates roughly how much of that resource can still be collected from it.

Below you will find brief descriptions of all resources that can be found on Uncharted Islands.



Wobbegong

Shown below is a Wobbegong spawn; these sharks require 96 Fishing to catch. This will also show a fishing icon on your mini-map, so you do not miss it while wandering your isle. After you have collected 100 Wobbegong, this resource will deplete.

Bamboo

Washed Ashore Items
